FREE Concrete Cancer Inspections Anywhere In Sydney

At Microcement Services NSW, we offer complimentary concrete cancer inspections across Sydney to help home and building owners detect deterioration early—before it becomes a major structural problem.

Our trained technicians conduct detailed on-site assessments to identify the cause of concrete breakdown and reinforcement corrosion. By determining the source of the damage—whether water penetration, insufficient concrete cover, or corroded steel—we can recommend the most effective long-term repair solution for your property.

If you’ve noticed warning signs of Concrete Cancer, contact us today to book your FREE Site Inspection. We’ll evaluate the damage, discuss repair options, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a tailored treatment plan.

Top 10 Signs You May Have Concrete Cancer

1. Rust-Coloured Staining
Brown or reddish streaks on concrete surfaces often signal that internal steel reinforcement has begun to corrode.

2. Surface Wear or Concrete Breakdown
Moisture-absorbing, worn, or crumbly concrete can indicate a failed protective surface layer, accelerating internal corrosion.

3. Cracks in Concrete
Hairline cracks or larger fractures allow water to seep in, causing steel reinforcement to rust and expand—worsening the damage over time.

4. Water Damage or Persistent Moisture
Wet patches, damp marks, or pooling water often mean drainage issues, leading to moisture movement into the concrete structure.

5. Damaged Expansion Joints
Faulty or deteriorated joints give water direct access to steel reinforcement, increasing the risk of internal corrosion.

6. Poor Concrete Cover
Steel placed too close to the surface is more exposed to environmental moisture, leading to premature corrosion and concrete failure.

7. Rusted Metal Fixtures
Balustrade posts and other steel fittings that rust can transfer corrosion into surrounding concrete, causing internal damage.

8. Bubbling or Peeling Paint
Blistering paint—especially under balconies or ceilings—may indicate moisture trapped behind the coating and underlying concrete damage.

9. Hollow Sound When Tapped
A hollow or drum-like sound usually suggests concrete separation (delamination) and potential steel corrosion beneath the surface.

10. Exposed Reinforcement Bars
Visible steel reinforcement is a severe warning sign. Once concrete has broken away, structural deterioration progresses rapidly.

Step 1: Free On-Site Evaluation
We inspect your property and outline the extent of deterioration, followed by a no-obligation repair quote.

Step 2: Identify the Source
Our team locates affected areas, evaluates severity, and selects the most suitable repair method.

Step 3: Controlled Cutting & Preparation
Damaged concrete is cut back cleanly to remove unstable areas and prepare a solid base for repair work.

Step 4: Targeted Removal
We use controlled jackhammering to remove weakened concrete without damaging the surrounding structure.

Step 5: Steel Cleaning
Reinforcement bars are cleaned using specialist equipment to remove rust and corrosion.

Step 6: Cleaning the Repair Area
Surfaces are thoroughly cleaned to ensure proper adhesion of protective coatings and repair mortar.

Step 7: Anti-Corrosion Treatment
We apply industrial-grade corrosion-inhibiting primers to protect the reinforcement from future rust.

Step 8: Steel Replacement (If Required)
Where severely corroded steel is found, replacement bars are fitted to restore structural integrity.

Step 9: Waterproof Coating
A protective seal is applied to prevent moisture infiltration and safeguard reinforcement steel.

Step 10: Concrete Repair & Finish
High-strength repair mortar is applied and finished for a durable, seamless result—designed to last.
